I also seem to get one of these when I haven't posted for a couple of weeks. I never tried to calibrate it, but that's what it seems to be. Perhaps it's keeping a cache of recent posters, and once I'm flushed from the cache, it considers me new. This is different from the case where I post from a different address. In that case, I get a mail saying that only subscribers can post. Or something like that. -- DaveA _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
